The Whisper:  if someone starts a story and others can add to it, then, whoever adds
to the story makes the twist or the turn. I don't think it is fair to
say "This has to be serious" or "This can be silly." The thoughts and
ideas of those who participate are what counts and what makes the story
original

And Floozie said something I'll probably include as well.  Pluse other suff.  I'm working on it now.  :)

I am sorry if I stirred the pot.. I hadn't meant to.. I just felt it was rather obvious an outcome.. I send you the story quotes..


"And then he saw the other.  The person was running towards him with the beast following.   They were too far away to tell if it was a man or a woman.  But whoever it was, the beast was chasing after them.   And both of them were running straight towards Jim."


The above paragraph is what I was imagining when I wrote my part..


"Glancing all around she turns and runs directly toward a figure in the distance. The Pteranodon drops even lower and nips a bit of her hair, he swooshes upward shuffling a breeze and a clasp of blond tresses hangs lightly out of his clenched bill. Grabbing at her scalp she steps up her pace and screams a bit.. but, exhaustion soon took over and she collapsed onto the ground.. Looking up she swings her hand to shield her eyes and stares directly into the eyes of....."


I guess I just assumed that whoever picked up the story would automatically know (if they were keeping up with the rest of the story) what direction it was taking..


I guess I felt as though I were being laughed at.. or the story was being shrugged with a quick snappy comment and then several more who made light of that comment .. I enjoyed the story line.. even with the outrageous characters.. since it was made known that the island made Jim see Mirages' of what he was imagining..


Speaking as a writer.. although unpublished, I wish to mention how difficult it is to be inspired to begin with.. and that inspiration can easily continue throughout with blending thoughts and imaginations working together.. or it can diminish quicker than a snap due to lack of flow.. I hope I am not coming accross as whinning which I never intended to let out.. I simply was very excited at the story, since it wasn't story tag.. and wanted to join in..

Argomento: Re:
ScarletRose:  I thought it was a story tag.  Maybe it has a different name.  There's StoryTag, chain stories, and Roundrobin stories.  I thought these were all the same. 

I hope you'll think about the changes I'm proposing and then people like you who do write alot will have an additional outlet (the website working in conjunction with this board)  ;)

Groucho: I view story tag as quick responces with little thought.. I saw these
additions similar to the stories we would write (years ago) at IYT..
where they were thought out.. and contained bulk.. most who would
participate made up their own characters.. we had a great time.. lots
of mystery.. lots of laughs.. and lots of peeps who just like reading
them..

I found a story and thought I would share some of it..

Topic: Addicted to IYT From:§»§Huggz§«:*´`³¤(¯`'¤¸(¯`Cathy´¯)¸¤´¯)¤³´`*:»§Kissez§« (higgsfam)

Subject:
Cathy reaches into her mail box.. pulling out the Thursday flyers, and
bills.. suddenly an offwhite envelope drops to the floor.. HMmm?? no
return address, she thinks to herself as she slips her finger along the
seal to pop it open..

Slipping out the card snuggly fit inside
she smiles as she reads.. "Your are cordially invited!" and hurridley
she opens it to find.. "To attend The IYT annual Picnic located at the
IYT Town Amusement Park" scanning quickly over the details she runs
back towards her home.. to arrange the travel arrangements and dates
her calendar.. WOw.. that is this weekend!!

She calls in her reservations and prepares her bags to leave..

Later that evening she arrives at the IYT Town Hotel and checks in.. Looking around the lobby to see if she recognizes anyone..

From: §APACHE CHIEF OF THE MESCALAROS (cochise4)

Subject: ... Cochise finds a message left on his machine...
...
Damn, the message is 3 days old... He quickly informs his first mate
that he will be away for the weekend and that he is to retrive the
longlines on his own... Only have time to pack a dufflebag and will
pick up anything needed when I arrive... A quick look around proves
that packing should be done slowly as he picks up the almost forgotten
pipe...

One question.. are there 'coasters?....and how long are the lines?

... Upon entry...... Cochise spends almost 3 hours at the airport
checkin while trying to explain the white powder in the pipe... After a
quick call to the reservation he gets the results that he was waiting
for... Damn uninformed airport police, Oh well ... Off to the hotel and
a much needed nap...

Subject: Raven checks in on her message board and finds the invitation to the iyt event. Dang i hope im not too late!

Running
into the lobby, I see most everyone is still by the pool, only most of
them are burnt to a crisp and sipping brightly colored drinks with
funny umbrellas in them. Oh well, I have some serious making up to do.
Barkeep! i will have a Sour Apple Martini please and get the next one
ready, this one wont take long to drink! Hi everyone! welcome back

After freshning up some, Cathy steps out of her room... and heads down
to the pool reaching the patio she quickly heads over to the barmaid
placing her order for a Long Island..

Sipping slowly on her
refreshment she glances around.. mingling through the crowd.. first
passing Foxy and recalling that date to be her last wedding date..
adding that must be a popular date..*giggle*.. after short convo Raven
stops over.. I had a lovely vacation.. just wish I could have visited
more with a Special person.. adding that Erika and her family were very
nice and is definately like a sister she never had.. I also was able to
meet up with my oldest daughter and her special someone.. before
returning home.. It was the most memorable vacation I have ever had the
pleasure of taking.. True, real.. down to earth meetings.. How is your
summer treating you?? Any vacations in the near future for you?..
Glancing more around the pool and noticing Erika, Excuse me.. I am
being called from the other side.. perhaps we can catch up more after a
bit..

Cathy steps over to Erika.. announcing the RollerCoaster
she noticed from the cab on the way to the Hotel.. including the
camcorder is all set and ready to catch the expressions from those who
dare to ride it.. LOL..

Soon the barmaid walks over handing
Cathy another Long Island.. she quickly gulps down the rest of the
first one.. feeling a bit light headed in a good way..

HMmmm.. wonder who all will be here?? Glancing more around the patio..

---------------------------------------
From: §Erika (Erika)

Subject:
oooooooohh no ya don't..Erika instructs one of the kids to remove the
battery from the camcorder, as Erika's had enuf pics taken for the next
5 yrs. (!!!) The lil' one gives Erika the camera battery, without Cathy
noticing, Erika runs inside, hits the elevator button, and notices some
passed out Indian Chief riding up and down in the elevator, with nobody
else present. "Oh well" she thinks to herself.. wonder if he'll notice
that i've exchanged this battery for that intriguing looking white
powder.

Erika then begins to walk back outside, anxious to ride
the coasters, when she hears somebody yelling "WHERE'S MY PINK
LIGHTER???!!!" Whoops, she makes a 180, hoping nobody notices..

Raven is now on her 3rd Martini and feeling mello. Thats good that you
had a nice trip, cathy. When my children were young, road trips were
the best thing for them. they got to see a different place almost every
day and didnt get bored. we would drive during the night when they were
asleep in the back seat, so we didnt hear alot of "are we there yet".
lol
I did go on a vacation to boston just last week to visit my
daughter and i plan another in august to the deep south to visit
relatives. I bet it was nice to see your daughter again, i know how
hard it is having them away from home.

Raven takes out one of the rafts with the drink holders in it and lays down on the water to soak up the afternoon sun.

Argomento: Re:
ScarletRose:  I'll see if I can find some definitions.  I can see something like what you posted working well if people were of the same writing skill level.  But even though I have a good imagination and am a storyteller in a semi-professional way, I don't write as well as some of the stories I've read on here.  I don't know that we can expect the same level from everyone.  The website could accomodate a more serious storyline or even a private FS.  But in the public forum, it's a different matter.  I agree that it's a lot of fun. 

I hope people check out the web site and let me know what they think of it and my ideas behind it.  Critical comments welcomed too.  I'm going forward with my ideas on the premise that "If you build it they will come" so criticisms may help in shaping what I am trying to do. 

As for this forum, much of it is up to the folks.  ;)  But as a public board, many of the rules for participation are set by the Users Agreement ;)

If anyone has any further comment, please PM me.  I plan to restart the story (out of respect for those that want it to be continued) and hopefully we can conclude it.  Then the group will decide where to go next. 

I am not trying to complicate things, only facilitate some organization to this board.  ;)

I've listed on the WebSite possible board activities.  They are not etched in stone so if people don't want something, that works for me too.  Here they are....

Brainking StoryBoard activities:
-Story Tag
-Sharing of personally authored stores (providing just a link to the website - please don't post entire stories)
-Story Chatter (chatting about either the story tag -after it is completed- or chatting about members story submission)
-Chat (related to what's currently happening on the board. The only time "chat" will be discouraged is when we are in the middle of a StoryTag exchange. During the creation of a collaborative story chat will be greately discouraged. ;)
-Other ideas that may come up  ;)

to be continued  :)

I've posted the basic storytag guidelines above. It is only the abreviated version.  Check out the links for more specific information.

People will be expected to have read the complete guidelines for storytag using one of the links provided.

It's only fair to everyone that we are all on the same page.  It is after all a collaborative effort and we must all be playing by the same rules.  agreed? ;)

Argomento: Here are some further guidelines for story tag - they are also posted on the web
Modificato da Papa Zoom (27. Agosto 2006, 00:52:36)
Guidelines For Collaborative Stories (impromptu, story-tap; round-robin; chain-story)

Respecing the Work of Others - Since this writing effort is collaberative, remember that some writers have spent a lot of time working out the details of their contribution. Please respect the plots that others have written. Feel free to add to a storyline but first be familiar with the entire story before adding anything new.

Stay consistent with the theme of the story. Add new characters and new twists, but don't change things so that the story theme changes also. The best way to do this is to be familiar with the story and always build off the last entry. Take cues from the last entry and build on it.

How much should a person write? --- As little as a sentence and as much as a few paragraphs. Try to avoid giving only a word or two. Write enough so that then next writer has something to build upon. And in every case, be very sensitive to the direction and theme of the story. Introduce new characters and situations but don't write things that will drastically change the story. Avoid long additions.

Since the stories will be housed on my personal site, and available to everyone on the internet, keep it rated "E" -- for EVERYONE

Always proofread your addition.

Argomento: Some definitions
Modificato da Papa Zoom (27. Agosto 2006, 00:59:03)
Basically I view all the types of collaborative stories the same way.  It's a group effort.  There are many different ways of handling it but basically I think we need to allow some freedom and flexibility in story tag efforts and not be too rigid.  But for informational purposes I post the following. 

Definitions

Story Circle
One person begins a tale and stops after a few sentences. The next person picks up the story thread and continues it, then stops. Next person adds to it and so on until the tale comes to a resolution. The story could begin with a pre-selected title or subject to guide the improvisation. Try recording the story circle on a tape recorder for later listening.
http://www.storyarts.org/lessonplans/lessonideas/#circle

Chain Story:
-Everybody knows what a chain story is, right? If you want to participate, please add one sentence to the previous sentence. Alternating, at least, one other person would need to add a line before you could add your next sentence.
-A chain story is a story written bit by bit, by many different people.
-Each person takes a turn moving the story along and each new person who takes over must maintain some consistency in the narrative while being free to take the story in other directions.

Story Tag
Story Tag is a multi-author, round robin type of cartoon. One person starts it, another person continues, and the cartoon keeps going until someone ends it
 Story Tag 1
Story Tag is a multi-author, round robin type of cartoon. One person starts it, ... Story Tag 01 is the product of two authors: Gel and Dustball. So is Tag. ...
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/98457 -

Round Robin
A round-robin story is one that is started by one person and then continued sucessively by others in turn. Whether an author can get additional turns, how many lines each person can contribute, and how the story can be ended depend on the rules. Some Web sites have been created for the telling of round robin stories by each person posting the next part of the story as part of an online conference thread.
A Round-robin story, or simply "round robin," is a type of collaborative fiction or storytelling in which a number of authors each write chapters of a novel or pieces of a story, in rounds. Round-robin novels were invented in the 19th century, and later became a tradition particularly in science fiction. In modern usage, the term often applies to collaborative fan fiction, particularly on the Internet, though it can also refer to friends or family telling stories at a sleepover, around a campfire, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_story

I found these definitions on a number of web sites.  It was a hard thing to find much information on and I was surprised.  If anyone has an "official" definition I can post on the web site, that would be great.  PM me. ;)

the next post I'll be reposting the entire story so far.  Please be sure to always link your contribution to the last one otherwise I may miss it when I put the thing together and post it on the web. ;)

Since I cannot decide what's to be allowed in or not (except in some obvious cases) I have included all contributions. I think that the starter of the story can help decide on when it's finished.  I'm assuming that we don't want them to drag on forever. ;)

his plane spiraled down out of control Jim spotted a flash of emerald
and tan through the clouds. As his plane sank lower he realized it was
an island in a part of the ocean where no island should be.

...Was his fantasy becoming true?

...What fantasy was that?

...The island was incased in a fog or clouds. Soon his plane floated down. Till it reached the island.

...The
fatiague from such a disorienting experience had caused Jim to question
his perception of his surroundings.Could it be?......could that really
be a Chuck E Cheese in the distance?

...Jim had dozed off and woke hours later on the island and his plane was no where in site. No wreckage whatsoever.

...He saw the Chucky Cheeser again and discovered that the island fabricated marages of what ev er you think about.

"What strange place is this?" Jim thought. "Whatever one thinks about, the Island creates a mirage of it. "

Suddenly
it occured to him that such a situation could lead to trouble. What if
he were thinking of something that led to a dangerous or even deadly
mirage?

He hardly had time to think about that last question
when a shudder surged throughout his body. Was he now seeing things?
What was his last thought? He didn't have time to wonder any longer.
Something was moving in the distance. Something big. And it was coming
his way.....

The very idea that Jim could manifest his own best
or worst fears intrigued Jim.For to even dread the worst meant he must
at least revisit that minefield of emotions.

the ground
trembled, the trees shook in the distance... it reminded him of the old
king kong movie... coconuts were falling everywhere... BOOM! earth
geysered! BOOM! BOOM! ROARRRRrrrrr! The giant ape retreated in anger!
the coconuts were setting off land mines! jim thought "oh this is just
dandy" and forced himself to think of 'good' thoughts...

But no
matter how hard he tried, the huge ape just wouldn't disappear. Land
mines continued to explode as coconuts continued to fall. Suddenly,
another huge creature appeared in the distance. "How can that be?"
thought Jim. "I wasn't thinking of a creature of any kind!" Then just
as suddenly, the huge ape disappeared and the explosions ceased. But
the beast in the distance grew bigger and bigger as it came closer and
closer.

"This is madness!" Jim screamed as he desparately
thought of peceful things. A quiet stream running through the valley
appeared. That was Jim's thought. But the beast wasn't. And then it
suddenly occured to Jim. Not only was he not alone, but the thoughts of
others became a reality to him as well! It was one thing to control his
own thoughts but the thoughts of another? Impossible.

And then
he saw the other. The person was running towards him with the beast
following. They were too far away to tell if it was a man or a woman.
But whoever it was, the beast was chasing after them. And both of them
were running straight towards Jim.

Then,all at once Jim sensed a
presence from behind.The ape had returned and was running its fingers
through his hair while making grunting sounds.In an act of defiance Jim
swung around and screamed at the top of his lungs "get your stinkin
paws off me you dirty Ape."

THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...THUMP... Jim
looked up at a placid Kong... SCREAM! They both looked towards the
high-pitched SCREAM source but saw the T-Rex first! It was bearing down
on a golden haired slight woman in a flowing flimsy white wrap, who
gathered herself and dove into the deep blue stream...

Jim pointed- Well don't just stand there king! Go save her! Help her!

The
giant ape ROARED and sprang forward covering ground fast and low...
almost losing Jim as he jumped on and clung on to the ape's hairy calf
with both hands...

The T-rex skidded to a stop on the thick green verge at the stream and BELLOWED a challenge back!

"Bawkkkkkkkkk
Bawwaakkkkk" Scarlet comes running through the trees, arms up above her
head sheilding herself from the swooping Pteranodons. Her white guaze
dress snags on a stump and tears at the hemline.


Glancing
all around she turns and runs directly toward a figure in the distance.
The Pteranodon drops even lower and nips a bit of her hair, he swooshes
upward shuffling a breeze and a clasp of blond tresses hangs lightly
out of his clenched bill. Grabbing at her scalp she steps up her pace
and screams a bit.. but, exhaustion soon took over and she collapsed
onto the ground.. Looking up she swings her hand to shield her eyes and
stares directly into the eyes of.....

a tiny field mouse.

Out from the woods comes a Fox with a few mouse traps and sets them around the island.

But
that tricky little mouse isn't about to be fooled by the mouse traps.
He's seen them before and knows how to avoid them. Meanwhile, the mouse
is occupied staring back into the eyes of the stranger.

Scarlet extends her hand "It is so wonderful to meet you Miss Earhart, you have had us all in a tizzy since search parties were never able to find you or your plane. How have you been able to manage all this time?"


Scarlet lQQks over the area as if to search for other life.. "Are you here with anyone else?" she boldly questions. Jim eagerly awaits a responce and searches the immediate area with his eyes. Nudging Scarlets forearm slightly as he notices movement in the bushes just west of them, he bobs his tilted head to alert Scarlet. Emilia, fully aware now that the island guests are a bit nervous, shouts out to the bushes "It's okay Clayton. They aren't here to hurt us. They are friends. Would you like to come over and meet them?"


Scarlet and Jim patiently wait while a brown haired young boy with a face of freckles sluggishly walks over to the group of them. "Hello young man", starts Jim only to soon be interrupted by Amelia's introduction. "Clayton, this is Scarlet and Jim. Clayton is my adopted son so to speak, his parents were great friends of mine. I took over Claytons care when Natashia and Sam met their fate in an accident in the cave on the other side of the Island. Amelia nervously looked away.


"Are you the only two here? Scarlet asks. Jim perks up a bit waiting to learn more.. Amelia turns around opening her arms as if to cast a spotlight down for all to see.. "There are others here.. Families, and individuals who happened here one way or another", she swings back around to face Jim and Scarlet.. "Just as you two had came about"


Clayton shuffles sand with his foot and kicks at an imaginary ball.. the sea sweeps in leaving a cottony foam along the coast.. while seagulls flap their wings to swoop down and gather their catch of the day!


Jim and Scarlet follow Amelia with full trust while the young lad hop scotches a stride right behind them.

scarlet thinks to herself.. *did I just say that outloud?.. how rude I must have sounded".. before the thought of those harse words could be absorbed fully in.. she added.. "Well.. I didn't fly in like you two had, I was on a Cruise, we had docked up at one of the islands and I got off to do some shopping.. I found this cozy cafe' and decided to rest a bit with a double mocha coffee.. I ended up getting mesmerized by the Island music coming from the band just out on the patio. I missed the reboarding of the Princess Cathryn and when I realized it I had to hire a taxi raft to take me out.. unfortunately the ship was too far out and my rafter didn't want to lose the commission.. We hit something which tore into the raft and soon we were surrounded by water.. I couldn't find where my hired man went and fought the water on my own.. I managed to get some drift wood and held on.. I must have passed out since I have no real memory of drifting.. I just know that several days back.. I was washed up on the shore and woke up. I slept in some clumped bushes and have been eating banana's and coconuts.. I was more than excited to see people on this island. Does anyone have a cell phone on them? OR is there phone service on the island?? Is there a hotel.. We need to get to the town area.. *Scarlet seems a bit panicked* if I could just call the cruise line I can find out where to meet up with the ship.

"psssst" a loud hissing noise from the bushes to the right of scarlet. Scarlet looks around. "Pssst" there it is again Scarlet stops and goes back as the others keep walking with Miss Earhart. Suddenly a small whisp of a beautiful girl with big brown eyes came slowly out to grab Scarlets hand. "Please, do not go with them there is much danger here, that woman is not who you think she is!!!!!! My name is Isabella and I have been stranded here for over two years. There is a small plane that brings food and other things wrapped in red fabric, that flies in here daily at 4 in the morning. We must escape before its too late!" Her eyes were so sad and then they started filling with fluid and trickling down her shallow cheeks. "I don't know Isabella, I can't fantom all whats happening here yet, and I can't just leave the others! Suddenly there is shouting from the forest ahead of them in the direction the others gone, shots were heard, scarlet turns back around to talk to Isabella, but the frightened girl has disappeared. As scarlet is wondering where she went and a large arm wraps around her waist and a strong hand clamps down over her mouth. quickly she is picked up and carted off in a different direction. Squirming does little the person is very strong, scarlet thinks to herself, wishing her other friends would come to her aid...quick!!!!

"UMmmmmURRGGggggg!!!" Scarlet gurgles through the tight fabric twisted and wrapped around her head gagging her mouth. "Aaacc esss aaaawwww" Scarlet screams at her captor. She twists herself hoping to catch her wrapped up hands against something to urge the cord loose with..


The tall lean figure is propped up against the wall, he silently whistles a tune to himself.. occassionally he looks over at Scarlet. He wears a scarf draped over most of his face as if to hide himself .. would she recognize the man if it were removed? she thinks to herself. He didn't seem too familar, at least not when he was bringing her here.. Of course would anyone really feel familar if they would have slung her over their shoulder as this man had? "Waaaaaa YYYyUUUUU uuunnnnn?" She asks of him as though he really can understand her. He looks over at her puzzled, and shakes his head. He turns to stare out the window as the sun slowly melts accross the horizon.
